Media Reviews
What the authors of this new book have succeeded in doing, is providing something lacking in other texts. The masterful illustrations present symptoms, signs and the medical equipment and clinical skills often seen and required on the wards. The 'At a Glance' boxes provide quick and easy reference to common paediatric conditions with a carefully selected, manageable knowledge base. This book was written with the new GMC recommendations in mind, and it appears to have achieved its aims of presenting core information and skills in a memorable way. Guy's Gazette, Guy's, King's & St Thomas' Hospitals Medical & Dental Schools .. .an excellent text with a novel and very successful approach to the teaching of child health. Southampton Health Journal .. .as a student nurse I have found this book invaluable in the short time I have had it...When working on a busy ward this book will be a vital guide for quick referencing and invaluable for teaching sessions. Having this book on the ward will also enable a student nurse or staff nurse to look up a particular diagnosis to expand their knowledge. Many of my colleagues also share my high opinion of this book. Journal of Child Health Care .. .beautifully presented book...The 'At a glance' summary presentations are a superb aid to student and registrar learning. Family Practice In contrast to many medical textbooks this is beautifully presented and a pleasure to read. There is a large emphasis on community paediatrics, which other textbooks seem to neglect. Barts and the London Chronicle Buy it Cambridge Medicine, Addenbrooke's Clinical School Gazette This is a very well designed book which covers the whole of paediatrics from prematurity to adolescence dealing with both ill health and health prevention issues. A well designed text which students should find informative and yet easy to read. CAL Reviews, http: //axis.cbcu.cam.ac.uk/calreviews I do not know if there are other paediatric textbooks that could make paediatrics easier to read than this one.
